How To Treat Redness Of Ear Lobe At The Site Of Piercing?

After I took off my earring, I noticed that my right earring hole was bleeding. This morning when I was putting on the earring, it was kind of painful to put in the jewelry in the earring hole. I wore them the entire day and took them off an hour ago, (8 pm). I just took a shower and I think the bleeding stopped, but the hole itself is red. What should I do?
